Clue — 2.5/5
A case study in interesting actors who are mostly muffled by the context they exist in. Tim Curry and Madeline Kahn, when given some freedom, are allowed to shine, but mostly seem to be contained by the plot mechanics of it all. I want to say the director's to blame? It feels like 'hire a bunch of interesting people, but don't let them be themselves.' It's a commitment to the script without the realization that that wasn't working. When Madeline Kahn is allowed her little bit of improv, right at the end, it damns the whole thing — what it could have been.
